I have a half mesh front.with a 2.4 roof covering a full length averie.I have 4 2.4 compartments with a mesh door at either end off the shed,with a solid door in front of each.Which is left open when it is not raining.I think the damp is mainly caused by the droppings,as I had one compartment empty last winter which stayed dry while there was no birds in it.But I have no vents along the back of the loft.Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for the reply's so far. Gary.

Now that the damp weather is with us.Has anyone got any tips on keeping the floor dry.I put a layer of easie bed down once a week.Then clean all the compartments at the end of the week,replacing with fresh litter.But by the fourth day the floor is starting to get damp.the loft is open fronted with an averie roof across.Any ideas ?

I visited a couple at the weekend to pick up some birds.And they told me that they hand rear parrots(electrus)Which is a breed I had never heard of.They had a baby parrot for sale at £550 which was very tame.They told me that they are remarkable talkers. Gary.

Many thanks to Lindsay.(Greenlands)For taking the time to send me information on my recent topic on droppings testing. Gary.

Looking at some of the posts,has got me thinking about having my birds droppings tested.Like so many,I treat for the usual things annually.But this year I would like to try a different approach.So if anyone could recommend someone.I would be grateful.

Has anyone tried the three in one wormer canker coxci.If so,any good?

Thanks for for all your help.

Spot on imfo thanks.It was the auto injector I had been looking at.Which would have been no good for pigeons with a 0.5 minimum dose.It talks about boosters etc.But in the past I have used Chev vac-s every twelve months.Would you mind telling me when and how often you would use the colombac paratyphoid vaccine.As I am sure others would be interested.Many thanks.

I was thinking of using a auto injector this year for the fist time.I have noticed that some for sale on line say that the adjust at 0.5 but the colombac paratyphoid states 0.2 Can anyone recommend a good injector.And how much I should be looking to pay.

Has any one had any experience of the personal ionizers.The type you see people wearing around there necks at shows.Do they work?

I have some young kings bred from birds I imported from Germany.Were aborts are you.

I normally vacinate for paratyphoid but decided to use para stop instead.I found it not to be as effective as Chevi Vac-s if It works at all.When I spoke to De Weird I found them to be very secretive regarding ingredients,and rude when they were pressed on the matter.

Thank you for your advice.Most appreciated.
